Much has been written about the ethical relationship that has been sought to be established with spectators in the general context of contemporary performing practice, but little attention has been given to how different artistic proposals can mobilise (more or less) forces of ethical reflection - and how this reflection translates into a political dimension, that is, how it relates to our capacity to affect the way we live together. In this article, I will start by identifying the basic premises on which the relation between aesthetics and ethics has been advanced in the performing arts, using RE.AL's AND_Lab as an example of a project in which the process of artistic construction is directly oriented to lead participants to reflect and act in an ethically conscious way - at the same time as it poses new tensions on what it can mean to produce art in the objectified world of today's performing arts.
